Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic is a place I had heard about for years but just didn’t know that much about it. I knew it was a resort and they had some golf and it was about an hour from the Punta Cana resort area. So spending four days at Casa de Campo […]
2 Days in Bonaire
June 15, 2017 by 14 Comments
Bonaire is the B in the Dutch ABC Islands that nobody knows about. Bonaire is mainly known as a dive and snorkeling island because of a lack of beaches plus excellent coral reefs and fish. Bonaire is not nearly as built up as neighboring Curacao or Aruba but that’s part of the charm. For me, […]

Ever since December when there were public comments by the government about potentially lifting the 50-year embargo on Cuba, people have been asking me non-stop about Cuba. Is it safe to go to Cuba?
